Team New Zealand's catamaran capsized at the start of an America's Cup challenger semifinal race on Tuesday.

According to the Associated Press, at least one crewman was tossed into the water and the 50-foot vessel was damaged

The incident came just at the start of the race, as the wing-sail catamarans, which have hydrofoils that will actually create lift like an airplane wing and raise the hulls of the boats out of the water to reduce the amount of drag, leaned forward, and eventually tipped over.

Here is the moment at the start of the race, via Bermuda News:
